Mike Brown’s Juggalodown
My journey to the heart of the local Salt Lake Juggalo scene began with a phone call and ended with a bottle of Rock ‘n Rye flavored Faygo. Up until now I had no idea what the fuck any of this shit was about. Sure, I knew that they liked Insane Clown Posse and wore makeup, but other than that I was stumped. … read more
Mike Brown: Some Stuff I Wrote About Beer
Very rarely does SLUG give me a writing assignment. In case you were wondering about my whole SLUG article process, the recipe is as follows: SLUG asks me what I want to write about. I tell them. Then they have someone draw a cool picture that correlates with my soapbox, or I use a shitty picture that I have lying around. … read more
Mike Brown’s Heroes
So every time I put out a new Leviathan, which isn’t that often, I always seem to neglect my SLUG writing duties. Leviathan #9 drops this month and my lack of focus is no different. So I was thinking … The last Leviathan was mostly stuff that I wrote for SLUG that didn’t make it in. So this month I’m returning the favor to SLUG and its readers by giving you guys a story that will not make it in the next Leviathan. Instead it’s my SLUG article!

Mike Brown interviews Zane Miller
I had recently sworn off doing any more interviews for SLUG or anyone else for that matter. Not that I really write for anyone else, but if GQ had somehow resurrected my favorite author William S. Burroughs and was going to pay me in high-priced hookers to ask him a bunch of fucked-up questions and finally find out if he really killed his wife so he could become a homosexual junkie and such, I’d probably still say no. … read more

Fuck the Informer: By the Numbers
Fuck The Informer is a band that I like. But they don’t like SLUG and said that they didn’t want any of their music reviewed in the mag. So I told them that I was doing a survey, just like a sneaky telemarketer. I guess that makes me an informer, ha! Fuck me! I’ll leave
